[Scons-dev] Vague recollection of reporting a problem

[Managan, Rob]

Russel,

I think the alternative is TestSCons.TestSCons().detect_tool(tool). A
quick look at the source makes it look like it expects a single tool name
to be given. It seems to use an environment created for that tool and uses
its path.
